I like keeping it in the Ford vein.  R's look good but over done (I know, I have them).  Go with the 93 cobra's.  Not too flashy, they look like they're from from the correct era for the car.  Gives it a nice updated look without going overboard...  keeps a bit of a sleeper vibe.




PS:  lower it  :D

Times 2....
 I say go cobra R's, but get the deep dish ones for the back, and paint the spokes body colour, with the polished lips....:D

I'm biased in favor of 5-spokes

Roh's are nice looking wheels, but a little pricey when you can get ex-Cobra wheels at less than half the price.

Painting the spokes either body color or a color complementary to body color would look pretty sharp.  btw, he's south of the border, so it's "color". :D

x3 on lowering it.

Welds look nice with the stock 2 tone colors and make the car look super clean and ready to race.

Who makes 17x9s that fit in the front without sticking out past the fender? Remember I have stock 88 LX suspension.
